Stream All Eight Movies Anywhere

It’s hard to believe that the last Harry Potter movie hit theaters over a decade ago. Fortunately, the beloved wizarding series is available to stream from home with the proper setup. If you want to relive the magic, we’ll show you all of your streaming options for the franchise, including where to watch Harry Potter films, the Fantastic Beasts spinoffs, and details on the forthcoming TV series.

Based on the books by J.K. Rowling, the Harry Potter film franchise follows Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they attend the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and attempt to evade the ever-growing evil of Voldemort. Although there are seven books, the series is broken up into eight films. Each film has a hefty runtime (every movie is at least two-and-a-half hours long), so it will take you almost 20 hours to watch everything. 

There’s a pretty good chance you’ve already seen the Harry Potter movies, but it’s never a bad time for a rewatch. We’ll show you how to get a jump-start on your Harry Potter marathon below, no matter where you’re located.

How to watch Harry Potter in the UK

In the UK, all Harry Potter movies are available to stream on Netflix, which you can access from outside the UK via a VPN (see below) if you already have a Netflix account. This is the best option for those hoping to stream the movies in the UK, since they were removed from ITVX in 2024. Ad-supported plans start at £5.99/month, or you can upgrade to one of the ad-free plans, which range in price from £12.99/month to £18.99/month. You can read more in our Netflix price guide.

How to watch Harry Potter from anywhere

If you’re currently outside the UK and want to watch Harry Potter on Netflix, you might want to try a VPN (virtual private network). VPNs change your electronic device’s location so you can access websites and apps from anywhere. They’re excellent ways to boost your online privacy and keep up with your usual services while abroad.

We recommend ExpressVPN, a tried-and-true option that comes with a convenient 30-day money-back guarantee. Check out our ExpressVPN review for more information, and keep reading to learn how to use it for the Netflix option.

ExpressVPN Plan

With its consistent performance, reliable security, and expansive global streaming features, ExpressVPN is the best VPN out there, excelling in every spec and offering many advanced features that make it exceptional. Better yet, you can save more than 60% right now and get up to four months free.

How to watch Harry Potter with a VPN

• Sign up for a VPN if you don’t already have one.
• Install it on the device you’re planning to watch on.
• Turn it on and set it to a UK location.
• Sign in to your Netflix account.
• Enjoy Harry Potter.

How to watch Fantastic Beasts

If you can’t get enough of Harry Potter, you can always turn to the franchise’s spinoff prequels: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, and Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. In the UK, you can also watch them on Netflix, but in the US, they’re only on Max, not Peacock. 

How to watch the Harry Potter TV series

A Harry Potter TV series is in the works, although you probably won’t be able to watch it until around 2026. According to Variety, the series is slated to start filming in Summer 2025. The Warner Bros. series is a retelling of the original story, spread over several episodes (and, most likely, seasons). There’s a new cast, which includes John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore and Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape. There’s no word yet on international viewing options, but the series will stream on Max in the US.

Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Business Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
